Our doctor was part of the testing of both drugs, and said that strangely, the incidence of PML is much higher in Rheumatoid Arthritis patients on Rituximab than on the MS population on Rituximab. The incidence of PML was almost 0% in the MS group. The same company that makes Rituxan has another monoclonal anti-body drug beginning testing, for MS. Hopefully insurance will then cover that one.

So I was just doing some research for another post on post viral arthritis. It is a kind of arthritis that can set in after you have a virus or the flu. I read that it takes several weeks to months to resolve. I immediately thought of you. Ask your doctor about this type of arthritis and please let us know what you find out.

My father was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis shortly after WWII. He developed it shortly after being shipped back from England in a coma with a very high temperature. He had the usual symptoms of RA but it was not symetrical. It affected different joints on either side of the body. He died in 1965. About a year before he died, he developed unusual symptoms- loss of taste, areas of de-pigmentation etc.

Hey guys - my mom is 55 and has rheumatoid arthritis, and wants to apply for SSI (disability). She has terrible pains and her hands have become crippled. Do you think this will qualify her for it? She can barely lift up her arms; she's worked in care-giving and now it's impossible to do simple chores/duties.

What if any is the difference between rheumatoid artritis and serio negative arthritis.

In the absense of a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (the autoimmune kind), what you're seeing is probably osteoarthritis (the wear and tear kind). Rheumatoid arthritis can lead to osteoarthritic changes, but OA does not mean you have RA. RA and OA are two completely different conditions, but many symptoms of both cross over so it's easy to confuse the two.

Has anyone heard of Rituxan? It is currently being used for Rheumatoid Arthritis & Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma but is in clinical trials for treatment in Multiple Sclerosis. Most MS treatments target the T cells but this medicine targets the B cells. It is gone from a phase II clinical trial to a phase III study with a lot of promise. I am currently on it because I am able to receive it as an RA patient. I was on Copaxone without success.

There are many reported cures for rheumatoid arthritis, but it isn't clear which may work in your case, of if any can work at all. For sure you have to have a clean diet (no sugars, no starches, no artificial components that can potentially create issues, no sodas, plenty of water - this is the easy part, in a way). Also enough vitamin D etc. plus exercise (indispensable to move fluids around). After that are possible food allergies.
